Carbs and binders are easy but the rust will be expensive unless you have the skills and tools to do it yourself. Don't look hard at the carbs and miss the rust. "pans redone and to be redone again" reads "Pans were replaced in a hack job while ago and the work has all fallen apart adding to the issues". This car sounds like a ground up restore or at least a all systems tear down and repair / rebuild. If so leave it to the better equipped if not so yourself. There are no bargains in old Porsches. Up front or over time you will pay unless you are strong in DIY. The motor rebuild might have resulted in a solid motor or a loosely held together headache looking for a new owner to torture.
You can't tell unless you look and looking does not hurt. A sound 66 912 would be worth well more than that but the nice common early porsche will also cost more to make it nice than it can be sold for after.
